white4d96 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am willing to bet you could adapt a setup from another Honda. If you have a friend with a newer Civic that will let you poke at their suspension, look and see if the struts could possibly interchange. I know on my brother's 93 Accord, he was able to hog out a couple mounting holes on coilovers made for a similar year Civic...Maybe you could get lucky like that? Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplPhreak Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 why does everyone assume RICE OUT when someone fixes up a honda? because they aren't RWD? intake/turbo/upgraded cams/etc makes it a ricer? Im not one of the people who throw on a coffee can muffler, tint windows, rims and call it a day. I actually like doing shit that will effect performance. @ raytard - why did they make a coupe 3.5L then? :\ @ ktown - I don't have any friends who drive a newer civic but I will call some local shops and find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wink17 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 i have a 94 Honda Accord and it is hard t find parts for my car but the year you have it is plenty of thing to do to them go to cardomain.com and look at your year, you will see there are alot of coils and suspension kits you can get, you just got to find out what you are looking for and how much you want to spend, i just saw a articles on a skunk2 and eibach and mugen parts you have more options than my 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx24xx Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wow lots of bad information here. FYI Accords are designed to perform in all aspects of automobiles including fuel consumption and economy. Putting intake, headers, exhaust and a body kit on a 4 banger for performance is rice. Changing the stance and getting a sporty tuned suspension is not. There is a huge difference and I'm sick of people jumping the gun. BTW Japaneese companies make some of the best vehicles on the road and a lot put together here in America. We have domestic companies that have cars like the Malibu, Neon, Stratus and Contour to ensure quality and reliability. I would browse some (8th gen I think) Accord forums and see what is out there if I was you. There is pros and cons between coilovers and spring/strut swaps. Definately read up on comfort because some of them ride like crap or have issues when you lower them past a certain point like Tein. lP lR O Jl lE C T - C G 6 DD 9512G - DD M2A - DDA W - DD S4A - ALPINE W505 - IMPRINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
